FARGO (hull #44) is possibly the newest Cape 31 to hit the second-hand market.
Launched in April 2023 FARGO lacks for nothing and is a stunning fully race prepared example of the successful Cape 31.
Upon arrival into the UK FARGO went in for a 4 week commissioning and optimization fit-out with numerous upgrades, to take the boat to a grand prix level in order to compete at the top of the current C31 fleet.
Owner’s overseas commitments in 2024 has resulted in this immaculate example of a fully optimised Cape now coming onto the market.
This is a great opportunity to enter this exciting class with a race-winning boat on day one.

GENERAL CAPE 31 SPECIFICATION:
LOA: 9.55m
LWL: 8.75m
Beam: 3.05m
Disp: 1800kg
Draft: 2.45m
OVERVIEW:
The Cape 31 is an affordable high performance 31 ft race boat.
The boat was masterminded by Lord Irvine Laidlaw, designed by Mark Mills and is built by licensed boat builder Cape Performance Sailing Ltd.
Teams usually sail 7 or 8 up on this latest generation race boat. The class rule prefers owner driver (always amateur) and a mixed crew of amateurs and professionals.
The key to this boat’s success is that it has proven itself as not only a great one design boat, but also as a very competitive boat under multiple handicap systems.
The design has had some impressive results over the last few years in a host of UK and European IRC events, Caribbean CSA events and US ORR/ORC events including becoming 2022 UK IRC National Champion and two times Les Voiles de St Tropez Champion!
Another great feature of the Cape 31 is that she (along with her 2 piece mast) fits into a 40ft container so can be easily shipped around the World.
Handy when you decide you’d like to join in with winter sailing in warmer waters.
